Join us and hear about our work to empower consumers and communities to speed a just transition to a zero-carbon future.
This is an evening of networking, celebrating progress, and preparing for the challenges that still lie ahead. Tickets are $10 and all are welcome.
We're pleased to welcome Ari Matusiak, president and CEO of Rewiring America, as our Speaker for the event!
Rewiring America is a national nonprofit focused on electrifying our homes, communities, and businesses by developing accessible tools and building coalitions and partnerships. Rewiring America helps Americans save money, tackle nationwide emissions goals, improve health, and build the next generation of the clean energy workforce.
We have encouraged our members to use Rewiring America’s Electrification Calculator as they plan out their journeys to becoming fossil fuel free and work directly with Rewiring America on two projects: advocating for supportive policies for heat pumps in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and jointly running an innovative heat pump program in Rhode Island targeted to moderate-income consumers currently heating with oil, propane, and electric resistance heat.
